You'd stamp on anyone who stops to take a breath

The stamping ground

The stamping ground

All your old gang

Still hang around

Coming in with the same blokes

Going home with the same jokes

If you ever go missing

I know where you'll be found

The stamping ground


The big fella on the front door knows your face

The barman pretends that he's saved you a place

But when your back is turned

They say she's older than she tells

I could stand the main attraction

But not the clientele

Who leaves as a couple

When they seen you coming, babe

They act like they're pleased to meet you

But I wouldn't want to be you"

You act like you don't have a care in your bed

The lights are on

There's no one home
